- batter stand by is high
- very durable

Cons: - music upload time is slow

Summary: I use to work for a cell phone provider in Canada, I worked with cell phones everyday. I heard all the pro's and con's of most phones and I found that at the time this phone was the best phone for me.

I also obtained the Moto Phonetools which made my expereience with the Rokr even better, I actually really like the phone to this day!

The ROKR rocks

Overall Rating:

4 out of 5

By: Lisa Sokolowski on Tuesday, October 10, 2006
From: Forty Fort, PA (United States)
Experience: 10 Months

Pros: It has iTunes. It isn't a flip. It has a slot for a mini-SD card. It's a camera and video camera.

Cons: It doesn't have a lot of memory. Mine won't charge very well anymore.

Summary: The phone is amazing. I have a mini-SD card, so I can store songs on it for playback on iTunes (which is built it). It says I can hold up to 100 songs, but I've only been able to put on 32 before the memory is exceeded. I like it a lot though. I'm definitely afraid of dropping it, though, and I haven't been able to find a case for it. But it's a fun phone.

Great Phone

Overall Rating:

4.8 out of 5

By: Ron Trite on Thursday, August 24, 2006
From: Goleta, CA (United States)
Experience: 1 Years

Pros: Built In Itunes, Built In Speakers, Great Screen, Small, Light, Bright Light

Cons: Camera, Price, 100 Song Itunes Limit

Summary: This phone is probably the best cell phone I have ever owned, It comes with a built in I-tunes and speakers so you could listen to music without headphones. Also the battery life is great, you could listen with headphones and use as a cell phone for over a week, and without headphones and as a cell phone for about 3 days. All the menus are easy to use and they look is great. They down sides are the price and the 100 song I-tunes limit.

Google reduces Nexus One equipment recovery fee to $150

Google reduces Nexus One ETF

In an effort to quell user complaints about the company's high "equipment recovery fee" (in addition to T-Mobile's early termination fee, nonetheless), Google has dropped the fee from $350 to $150 for those that cancel their contracts in the first 120 days. That being said, that's still $350 total to pay to Google and T-Mobile ($150 and $200, respectively) - still too high, in my opinion. The move comes after the FCC sent letters to...

Google launches technical support number for Nexus One

Google launches support number

After ordering the Nexus One for one of my personal accounts, I can safely say that the disconnect between T-Mobile and Google is astonishing (and when I say "astonishing," it's not a compliment). If you read my article on how to order the device, you're well-aware of the challenges. I'm not an analyst by any means, but the issues between existing accounts, family share plans, and the like could be a serious detriment to the sales...

iPhone 4G Spy Shot

Get out your salt shakers, it's alleged spy photo time! iPhone repair site iResQ has what they claim are parts from the upcoming fourth-generation Apple iPhone, due to be launched later this year. According to photos on the site, the new iPhone's front panel (right, above) will be approximately 1/4" taller than the current iPhone 3GS (left, above). The photos also show what iResQ is calling a "reflective surface" on the front panel just above...

2.1 on Droid: Multitouch but no 3D effects?

Android 2.1 on Droid

Chris from Engadget says he got word that Verizon is currently testing Android 2.1 "Eclair" on the Motorola Droid. The build mentioned is 2.1 version 1, the same version pushed out to Nexus One owners last week. Nobody's got any word on a release date - or even verification that the update will, in fact, be released at all. But let's be optimistic (and realistic, I think) and say that Droid owners should be getting some multitouch Web love...

iPhone OS 3.1.3

According to Adriana, any of you running your iPhones unlocked on T-Mobile should hold off on installing the newest iPhone OS update. Looks like iPhone 3.1.3 breaks TMo connectivity for iPhone 3GS and 3G models - apparently the first-gen iPhones aren't affected. Any of you running iPhone unlocked on Magenta? If so, can you confirm or deny this? Better yet, are you hard at work on a solution? More over at Today's iPhone. [Via: PhoneArena]

Thats Incredible: Verizon-bound HTC Android 2.1 phone leaked

HTC Incredible

Pocketnow got hold of some leaked photos of a phone marked, "HTC Incredible." Based on the specs accompanying the leak, this device might just live up to its name - if you're looking for a high-end Android handheld to run on Verizon. Incredible (aka code-name "Bravo," I believe) is said to feature Android 2.1 and HTC Sense running on a Snapdragon-based platform backed by 256MB of RAM. The device will feature a 3.5" + WVGA touchscreen (AMOLED?),...

Foursquare for BlackBerry

I don't much care for Foursquare. The social networking site, that is. The schoolyard game with a kickball? AWESOME. The check-in thingy? Don't really like it. But lots of people do, apparently. They enjoy filling their twitter feeds with things like, "I am now the mayor of Taco Bell!" and, "I'm at Pet Food Plaza at 123 Main Street." Well, okay, good for you, Mayor! So it's good - for them - that there's a Foursquare app for BlackBerry....

Motorola Super Bowl Ad

Is it me or have this year's Super Bowl ads been pretty underwhelming thus far? There's about five and a half minutes to go in the game as I write this, so there's still time for a miracle, but so far? Eh. That much-hyped Google ad? Vaguely clever yet supremely boring (seriously, who wants to read an entire TV ad?). I kind of liked the VW ad, mainly because the Stevie Wonder/Tracy Morgan bit was unexpected and hilarious. Otherwise? A lot...

Google ships 80,000 Nexus One devices in January

Google ships 80k N1 phones

While the Motorola DROID and the Apple iPhone celebrated larger first month numbers (525,000 and 600,000, respectively), the announcement of 80,000 Nexus One devices (which translates into a steady 20,000 per week) is still a relatively strong number for Google. I'm sure Google would have liked to have broken the 100,000 mark, but the fact that they're going strong four weeks later (and their weekly totals haven't dropped) is a positive...

Motorola Milestone coming to Telus on February 18th; will work on AT&T

Milestone coming to Telus 2-18

According to Best Buy Canada, Telus (or at least Best Buy, on behalf of Telus) will be getting the Motorola Milestone. If you're in the United States, you're probably thinking "great, Aaron, why do I care?" Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Telus customers, but the real win for us in the States lies in the fact that they utilize the 850/1900 MHz bands for 3G. In other words, their version of the Milestone will work on AT&T...

Smart Shopping: Whose smartphone plans are cheapest?

Cheapest Smartphone Plans

Prepaid and PostPaid, Voice and Data Boost Mobile's launch of their first-ever smartphone, the BlackBerry Curve 8330, and its $60/month unlimited, prepaid voice & data plan, got me to thinking about the true cost of owning and maintaining various smartphones on the various US carriers.
